“Diana was WONDERFUL! We highly recommend her, she was attentive, responsive, and made sure our cats were happy and fed while we were on vacation. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Megan was great! We were leaving our cat for the longest we ever had and she provided peace of mind that he was ok. Megan was extremely communicative, responsive and kind. Would definitely book again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Yumi & Cody watch my two cats—one of them still a very playful 11-month-old kitten—while I was away for spring break. I was admittedly nervous at first, since I’ve never used outside help to care for my pets. But as soon as I met Yumi & Cody, I immediately felt at ease. They were kind, professional, and clearly had a genuine love for animals. Throughout my trip, they sent me daily updates and photos, which meant so much to my family and me. It was such a relief to see my cats happy, relaxed, and well cared for. They kept my home tidy and made sure both cats got the attention they needed—especially the younger one who needs tons of playtime. I could tell they went above and beyond to keep him entertained and stimulated. I will *definitely* be reaching out to them again for any future trips. Highly recommend!”
“Charlotte house set and watched my cat for almost 2 weeks while I was out of the country. She was very communicative and kept me well updated with pictures and videos! Also was really flexible with us the day before when my cat had a bit of a medical situation which resulted in her needing a bit of extra attention and medical care while I was away.”
About: When I was a teenager, my dog gave birth in my bed. While I was in it. I always try my best to ensure that dogs are comfortable. More than cats, dogs rely on those in their family for trust and love. Your absence will likely make them anxious, and I want your experience with a pet sitter to be the best possible. I've done grooming in the past, though I am no means an expert. I care for horses weekly, and take care of my own pets daily. I have a full time job, and can fit your pets in after 5 pm daily, or all day on the weekends. I don't offer care in my own home. I recently took a vacation and, as my husband told me, I wanted my beloved pets to say safe and secure in their own home. How your pets are cared for are entirely up to you. Pet parents are as varied as their pets, and only you know them best. I have a questionnaire I can provide to help me better understand your needs and desires as the owner, and the needs and comfort of your pets.
About: I grew up with a rambunctious cat and have always been a major animal lover since I can remember. Many friends, family members and neighbors have trusted me with the care of their animals and I enjoy it very much! I am currently on my clinical rotations for PA school, in which my schedule will be changing a bit every 6 weeks. Generally, I should be free in evenings on weekdays and all day on the weekends. Currently, I am only working a few days a week so my schedule is a bit more sporadic and open! I live in an apartment currently so I probably won't be taking in too many pets as of right now. However, I am always very respectful and mindful in client's homes. I am extremely tidy and try to leave the place in better condition than I came into it. I also want to make sure the pet is happy and comfortable in their space!
About: Having a Labrador teaches you a lot! I’m so happy to get the chance to take care of your pup. Plenty of experience with cats and dogs I work full time, and I have plenty of time early in the morning and afternoon for daily checkups and visits. Overnight care is something I can do as well, based on your needs and your pets. I will take care of your love one like my own. I will follow all your instructions and schedules as needed. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attentions and will make his stay comfortable. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Letitia is such a pleasure to work with!! She was very careful and diligent with my little tabby girl, Lilly. Lilly is very particular about who she takes to, and Letitia was able to pet her the first day they met. I would absolutely book Letitia again without hesitation!”
About: I enjoy spending time dog walking. Training with loving reinforcement. See attached picture of multiple dogs. I’ve been walking these two dogs for the last yr. Please reach out I’ll attend care when I’m not flying for work. I’ve been a flight attendant many years! And I have lots of days off. I have experience with large and small breeds. Your dog will be very happy around me! I’ve learned to let my dogs teach me what the want. I can figure it when all they need is just a hug. You can put your trust in me while you are away.
About: Hello! I have a soft spot for furry friends. Spent all my life around animals and have adopted, super loved and borderline spoiled my own fur babies. I am very flexible and I understand how everyone has their own ways of doing things and will gladly take wonderful care of your pet to your standards. I am always stocked up on treats and toys!! All grain free and only the healthiest snacks and meals. I am very active so I will be giving my full attention and up and about with all my furry guests. Experience in emergency situations. Knowledgeable about signs and symptoms and how to treat them and I have doggy first aid supplies just in case of a bee sting or fox tail stick etc. You can leave your four legged family members with me and have confidence that they will be cared for, safe, happy and having fun! Rates can be negotiable depending on the particulars, every situation and pet is different so just communicate with me about what specific needs and expectations you may have and I’m sure we will work out an arrangement beneficial to all. Look forward to meeting you and your beloveds I have an open schedule and am flexible with days and times. Willing to negotiate rates for long term or ongoing services. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I have a fenced yard, and walk dogs in my care twice a day, more if needed. I am trained and experienced with providing both oral and injected medications to both cats and dogs. I try to keep all on similar schedule to when they are home if possible so as to not disrupt the flow once they return home, however a typical day starts with potty breaks, then breakfast, some light playing followed by walk. Depending on weather relaxing in or outside. After second meal of the day (if they get one) a second walk. Potty breaks few hours later before bed.
“Degan was wonderful house sitting for us and watching after our two cats for over 2 weeks. She was very communicative and thoughtful and we're so glad we chose her. We'd definitely have her watch our cats again in the future if we're out of town.”
“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats when I went on vacation. They have different medical needs and bathroom “quirks”, but Karen handled them no problem at all. She’s patient and attentive and I appreciate her updates. Highly recommend and would book her again if I go out of town!”
About: I've cared for doggies of all ages all my life, both my own and for clients. I am comfortable with pups that require a bit more attention & have experience with administering meds, keeping food and water dishes clean & fresh, preparing specialty food and cleaning up any accidents. I am comfortable with giving baths, going for walks & frequent potty breaks. Getting to play and cuddle is always a plus! As I am looking for part-time work I currently have plenty of time for specialty pet care including play time, feeding, potty breaks, walks, or even baths. I have more experience with pets that are allowed free range of the house, but if needed I can safely crate the fur baby comfortably.

About: Hello! I've been taking care of animals my whole life and professionally been taking care of pets for over 13 years 🐾 i am an experienced pet groomer . Safety is my #1 priority with your babies. I will always make sure to give lots of love to your babies and treat them as if they are my own 💕 I currently have all day Sunday and Tuesdays available to be able to care for your fur baby/babies and am available most nights for drop ins or walkies 🙂 I can easily sense pets energy/ body language and am able to adjust to all types of pets and personalities. Your pets safety and comfort is always #1 priority to me!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have had both cats and dogs as part of my family for as long as I can remember. I was also an equestrian in my youth, which gave me an early appreciation for animals, their individual personalities, and the importance of patience and gentle, consistent care. I previously worked as an Adoption Counselor at the Humane Society, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable working with nervous, shy, anxious, and challenging dogs and cats, and I understand that every pet requires a different approach. I have a large 1/4 acre yard with a pool so there’s plenty of room to tire out pups and keep them busy. I also have experience administering medications, trimming nails, and handling routine pet-care needs. Most importantly, I’m patient and attentive and take the time to earn an animal’s trust. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work part time with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available 7 days a week. When caring for pets in their own homes, my first priority is always their safety, comfort, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual habits, personality, and needs before their owner leaves. I’m careful to: * Follow feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly * Keep doors, gates, and windows securely closed * Make sure pets have fresh water and a safe, comfortable environment * Keep dogs safely leashed whenever outside and never leave them unattended in unsafe areas * Be especially attentive with nervous, shy, or anxious pets * Watch for changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or bathroom habits * Keep medications, food, household cleaners, and other potential hazards safely out of reach * Make sure cats remain safely indoors and that doors aren’t accidentally left open * Communicate with owners promptly if I notice anything unusual or concerning I treat every home and every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own animals. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Ally made my time away from my pup much less stressful by being attentive to detail, keeping me updated and giving my dog the care he needed and then some! Would love to have her back and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Montclair
Christine is a gem! She went above and beyond to care for our cats while my husband and I were on vacation. She kept us informed and sent photos each visit, giving us ease of mind while away. She even took the liberty of grabbing us litter while away. Our fur babies and I highly recommend Christine! She's attentive, reliable, and friendly.
Ursula made sure my girls were taken care of to the highest level. She is a cat whisperer, getting even my most standoffish cat’s affection! It felt like I was entrusting my kitties to a close family friend with how nice and friendly Ursula is. She made sure to clean everything up down to the cat dishes and mats, and made sure the girls had a clean environment. She also made sure to tire out my more social kitty and brushed/played with them until they knocked out! She also sends a lot of photos and updates so you always know what is going on with your kitties. I would 100% recommend booking Ursula for your babies and I will be rebooking again! Thank you soooo much again!
Lily cared for our cat Spirit while we were away on our honeymoon and did a fantastic job, she was able to give her medicine, take care of her food water and littler all while giving her all the attention she needed! We will absolutely have her again in the future. Definitely recommend!
Paige took care of our two cats with twice-daily drop-in visits while we were away. She kept us updated with photos during each visit and was patient with our cats and their very different personalities, which helped put our minds at ease. She was easy to work with and made the process very smooth!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
